Become a Lasting Part of MAA History

Mark a special anniversary, honor a mentor, or remember a loved one by having an inscribed brick installed in the Paul R. Halmos Commemorative Walk at the Carriage House Conference Center, part of the MAA's Headquarters in Washington, DC.

The bricks form a map of the confluence of the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers in the District of Columbia.

The cost of each brick is $303.00 in honor of Paul Halmos' March 3rd birthday. Proceeds from the sale of bricks help support conference center programs and activities. Click here for an order form.
